Why Beltone?
Beltone is a safe haven for independent hearing care professionals needing to be part of something bigger to remain competitive. Our primary goal is to support your success by offering you every business advantage. From the moment you join our team, we provide guidance and insight to ensure your success.
Business Management Tools
Running a successful practice takes more than great hearing care. Beltone connects you with the expertise, tools and resources to strengthen your operations, uncover opportunities and support continued growth.
Here are just a few of the tools Beltone Network owners use and recommend:
Strategic Business Partners | A comprehensive approach to practice support that brings together experts across marketing, practice management, managed care and business performance. Your dedicated team works together to provide strategic guidance, operational support and data-driven insights based on your practice goals and opportunities.
Vendor Relations | Beltone utilizes the size and buying power of our Network to maximize relationships with vendors to benefit each individual owner. We maintain more than a dozen active relationships with external vendors that offer the best rates and results to the Beltone Network, on everything from merchant services and staffing solutions to patient financing and clinical supplies. Vendor Relations paves the way to optimize business efficiency while reducing overall expenses.
Managed Care | It is common for health care plans to choose to offer reimbursement on hearing aids. Beltone works with many Managed Care, Hearing Benefit Manager programs and Discount plans. We can help you incorporate managed care into your business to represent an opportunity for you to participate in your patients' hearing health journey.

We offer a wide range of financial support options, including:
Owner Financing | Your vision and goals are key drivers to your success. If we can support your plans with financing, we will make every effort to make it happen.

Through this program, we will allocate a percentage of purchases from select Beltone products into a Business Practice Fund for you.
Retirement Advantage Plan | The Beltone Retirement Advantage Plan is a program designed to give Beltone practice owners a unique opportunity to invest in their future. The program helps you save for retirement through a quarterly contribution.
